The Alchemy of Biofuels: How an Additional Step Makes the Process Cheaper, Cleaner, and More Flexible
We all know it: The world urgently needs sustainable fuels to curb climate change. But the raw materials for these fuels are often a problem. Many of the available waste products such as used cooking oils, animal fats, or other residues are low-quality, heavily contaminated, and difficult to process. They are full of impurities that would cripple traditional production facilities. So how can we efficiently transform these contaminated raw materials into high-quality fuels li

From Acid‑Esterified Biodiesel to Pyrolysis Biofuel: Distillation That Meets Ultra‑Low Sulfur Targets
Introduction — One Train for Many Feeds Biodiesel producers increasingly work with acid‑esterified biodiesel and pyrolysis biofuels —both can carry sulfur and cold‑flow issues that complicate compliance. Sulzer’s distillation addresses cold‑flow and purity; when paired with adsorption , it reliably delivers <10 ppm sulfur . What Makes These Feeds Challenging? Acid‑Esterified Biodiesel Residual contaminants and sulfur species can carry through post‑reaction, requiring robu
